Our social media-fueled culture is less about changing the world than about shaping how the world sees us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody did it any better than \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/tags/695894666/karl-lagerfeld\" target=\"695894666\" rel=\"noopener\">Karl Lagerfeld\u003c/a>, who died in 2019 after four decades as a lion king in the fashion world.

The show doesn’t pretend to offer the definitive take on an enormously complicated man. Instead, its brisk six episodes offer emblematic incidents — or perhaps pressure points — that take us surprisingly deep inside a figure who moved constantly forward, spurred on by ambition, loneliness and a keen sense of self-protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We first meet Karl in Paris through the eyes of Jacques de Bascher, a self-destructive young aristocrat played with scene-stealing charisma by the French Canadian actor Théodore Pellerin. Always looking for distractions, Jacques fixates on the uncharismatic Karl — that’s the superb German actor Daniel Brühl — who at this point is something of a brainy schlub who lives with his acerbic mother and stuffs his face with sweets when he’s angry.

The show doesn’t pretend to offer the definitive take on an enormously complicated man.

Always looking for distractions, Jacques fixates on the uncharismatic Karl — that’s the superb German actor Daniel Brühl — who at this point is something of a brainy schlub who lives with his acerbic mother and stuffs his face with sweets when he’s angry.

At SoleSpace Lab, a pilot project this summer on 12th Street in downtown Oakland, green-leaning sneakerheads and designers alike will be able to take classes on upcycling, shoe repair and more. The shop will pivot away from commercial retail — no new sneakers will be for sale — and instead focus on rethinking fashion’s role in the global climate crisis through education and community engagement, with an emphasis on youth development, sustainability and equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t think I would touch [sneakers] again,” Perlstein says. “But I reflected on the excitement and joy I’d seen around shoes. Part of this is making peace with my critiques of the sneaker industry’s impact on the planet and bringing sustainability to sneakers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not about retail and selling some corporate-approved design, but how can we better take care of products that already exist?” he continues. “Those sneakers you already own, how can we dust them off and repair them, make them spicier to match a certain fit? This is about harnessing people’s creativity in Oakland and seeing how we can change things and give them a new life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13959116\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13959116\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"two shoe designers hold up their custom made pair of shoes\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Perlstein (left) spent a year taking sneaker upcycling workshops with professional cobblers, including Brooklyn’s Sung Me (right), who will visit SoulSpace Lab this summer to lead a workshop. \u003ccite>(Courtesy SoleSpace Lab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perlstein’s recommitment to sneakers began during the pandemic, when his teenage son, Joaquin, enrolled into the Oakland School of the Arts’ fashion design pathway.

She’s found that by using bioplastics and biodegradable materials, such as hemp, cactus and pineapple “leathers,” goji berries and echinacea, it’s possible to design sneakers that are both eco-friendly and popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was basically looking at what’s going on in our culture, being heavily influenced by celebrities and Instagram to have new things all the time,” Cueva explains. “The problem is we’re dumping stuff out that doesn’t go away.

At SoleSpace Lab, a pilot project this summer on 12th Street in downtown Oakland, green-leaning sneakerheads and designers alike will be able to take classes on upcycling, shoe repair and more. The shop will pivot away from commercial retail — no new sneakers will be for sale — and instead focus on rethinking fashion’s role in the global climate crisis through education and community engagement, with an emphasis on youth development, sustainability and equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t think I would touch [sneakers] again,” Perlstein says. “But I reflected on the excitement and joy I’d seen around shoes. Part of this is making peace with my critiques of the sneaker industry’s impact on the planet and bringing sustainability to sneakers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not about retail and selling some corporate-approved design, but how can we better take care of products that already exist?” he continues. “Those sneakers you already own, how can we dust them off and repair them, make them spicier to match a certain fit? This is about harnessing people’s creativity in Oakland and seeing how we can change things and give them a new life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13959116\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13959116\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"two shoe designers hold up their custom made pair of shoes\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Sung-Me-Brooklyn-Upcycle-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Perlstein (left) spent a year taking sneaker upcycling workshops with professional cobblers, including Brooklyn’s Sung Me (right), who will visit SoulSpace Lab this summer to lead a workshop. \u003ccite>(Courtesy SoleSpace Lab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perlstein’s recommitment to sneakers began during the pandemic, when his teenage son, Joaquin, enrolled into the Oakland School of the Arts’ fashion design pathway.

And just last month, more than 200 artists — including Perry herself — \u003ca href=\"https://artistrightsnow.medium.com/200-artists-urge-tech-platforms-stop-devaluing-music-559fb109bbac\">signed a letter\u003c/a> urging tech platforms and digital music services to stop using AI to “infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How to tell if an image is fake (or at least suspicious)\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>So what clues should Mary Hudson — and other discerning viewers — be looking for to spot potential fakes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13952796']Sam Gregory of the nonprofit Witness, which helps people use video and technology to protect human rights, encourages viewers to rely on context and intuition in situations like this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My starting point with all images like [Perry’s] is to not trust the online detectors as there are too many variables around whether they give an accurate result,” he explained over email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said when he ran both Perry images through a widely-used detector, the flower dress came back as “likely human” and the corset as “likely AI generated.” He also discourages people from looking for visual clues in these kinds of images, saying that can “lead down a rabbit hole of unproductive forensic skepticism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a high-profile event like the Met Gala, Gregory says, it’s best to use “classic media literacy and verification approaches.” In this case, that could mean looking for more proof of Perry’s attendance, from a variety of sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although some media literacy strategies like checking the source might lead us astray — perhaps we do trust Katy Perry to share real images of herself — if we use another strategy and look for other images from the same event from reliable sources, we’d quickly see this isn’t real,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds that it reminds him of the AI-created images of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/22/1177590231/fake-viral-images-of-an-explosion-at-the-pentagon-were-probably-created-by-ai\">fire at the Pentagon\u003c/a> that went viral last year. In both cases, he says, the first question people should ask themselves is not whether they can spot the AI glitches in the photo, but “Why aren’t there other photos and videos of this event in a highly populated area?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13932477']But the bigger question, as Gregory sees it, is whether the public should be expected to do this at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why wouldn’t Katy Perry be at the Met Gala and why would we second-guess that, particularly if she’s part of the deception?” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More help may be coming from social media platforms, amid growing concerns about the potential for AI to mislead users. Meta said earlier this year that it would start \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/02/06/1229317971/meta-labeling-ai-generated-images-instagram-facebook-artificial-intelligence\">labeling AI-generated images\u003c/a> on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, \u003ca href=\"https://about.fb.com/news/2024/04/metas-approach-to-labeling-ai-generated-content-and-manipulated-media/\">beginning in May\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now — and as always — keeping your guard up is key.

Originally from the Peninsula, the Oakland-based influencer describes her out-loud style as grandma glam — think chunky sweaters, bold graphic tees and maximalist accessories interspersed with timeless basics. With her big smile and pink hair, she exudes a genuine confidence, and rejects toxic notions from her upbringing in the 1990s and 2000s, when thinness was considered the “ultimate accessory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957005\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bold graphic tees and accessories are a staple of Katie Winnen’s style. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Winnen, personal style reinforces a sense of self. “[Fashion] feels like such a fun way to explore how I show up in the world, and how we can express who we are to other people,” she tells KQED. “Whether we want to communicate things like our creativity or profession, there are so many things you can showcase through your style and what you wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101891829/evette-dionne-takes-on-fatphobia-in-weightless\">body positivity and body neutrality\u003c/a> movements have made strides in recent years, size-inclusive fashion still has a long way to go when it comes to availability, fit and style. Winnen says a lot of advice for plus-size women is outdated, focusing on hiding body parts rather than highlighting personality. That’s why, beyond the basic tips like seasonal guides or finding the right concert look, Winnen sees an overall need for a supportive environment for plus-sized people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Self-confidence first, clothes second\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Winnen started her fashion journey by looking inward — and not just into her closet. Her career rise has mirrored her quest to wholeheartedly accept herself. It all stems from a mental reframe Winnen puts this way: “Maybe my body isn’t the problem. Maybe people who have a problem with my body are a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957003\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg\" alt=\"A stylist with pink hair lifts up a lime green top from her clothing rack.\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Winnen says there’s a need for more plus-size fashion content. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Prior to becoming a full-time TikTok creator in 2023, Winnen had been contributing to the platform for three years with some momentum.

Originally from the Peninsula, the Oakland-based influencer describes her out-loud style as grandma glam — think chunky sweaters, bold graphic tees and maximalist accessories interspersed with timeless basics. With her big smile and pink hair, she exudes a genuine confidence, and rejects toxic notions from her upbringing in the 1990s and 2000s, when thinness was considered the “ultimate accessory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957005\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bold graphic tees and accessories are a staple of Katie Winnen’s style. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Winnen, personal style reinforces a sense of self. “[Fashion] feels like such a fun way to explore how I show up in the world, and how we can express who we are to other people,” she tells KQED. “Whether we want to communicate things like our creativity or profession, there are so many things you can showcase through your style and what you wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101891829/evette-dionne-takes-on-fatphobia-in-weightless\">body positivity and body neutrality\u003c/a> movements have made strides in recent years, size-inclusive fashion still has a long way to go when it comes to availability, fit and style. Winnen says a lot of advice for plus-size women is outdated, focusing on hiding body parts rather than highlighting personality. That’s why, beyond the basic tips like seasonal guides or finding the right concert look, Winnen sees an overall need for a supportive environment for plus-sized people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Self-confidence first, clothes second\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Winnen started her fashion journey by looking inward — and not just into her closet. Her career rise has mirrored her quest to wholeheartedly accept herself. It all stems from a mental reframe Winnen puts this way: “Maybe my body isn’t the problem. Maybe people who have a problem with my body are a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957003\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg\" alt=\"A stylist with pink hair lifts up a lime green top from her clothing rack.\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Winnen says there’s a need for more plus-size fashion content. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Prior to becoming a full-time TikTok creator in 2023, Winnen had been contributing to the platform for three years with some momentum.

It stood for more than just looking cute. It was for the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fashionista since elementary school, Smith was taught to sew at the age of eight by her mother, a multitalented entrepreneur. Smith attended Oakland public schools — Skyline for high school and Montera for junior high — but it was her experience in elementary school, at Redwood Heights, that laid the foundation for her future. “That’s when I realized that I wanted to get into fashion,” Smith says. “I would draw little clothes and dress up my dolls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13955082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1545px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13955082\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1545\" height=\"2492\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg 1545w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-800x1290.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1020x1645.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-160x258.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-768x1239.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-952x1536.jpeg 952w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1270x2048.jpeg 1270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1545px) 100vw, 1545px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jendayi Smith as a toddler. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jendayi Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now 40, Smith sports a forest green blazer, tan sweater, striped scarf and fly earrings as she tells me via video chat that she’s always styled her own clothes.

So Smith applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology and got a second degree in fashion design. “After that I started working as a fashion designer in women’s cold weather accessories — hats, and scarves and gloves,” says Smith. But the company she worked for was soon bought out. Around that time, Smith began to yearn for the warm sun and familial roots of California, and left New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Los Angeles, where she was born, she got word that Mattel was hiring. It wasn’t exactly fashion design, but Smith was impressed by the upbeat company culture and the aesthetics of the office (much livelier than depicted in the \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em> movie, she says).
